Marijuana activists are descending on Washington this week to lobby Congress for more favorable drug laws in what promises to be one of the emerging industry’s biggest pushes yet.
Hundreds of people who sell marijuana from around the country will press lawmakers to legalize the drug so they can move forward as legitimate businesses with better access to credit and tax breaks.
The pot push comes as part of the industry’s fly-in lobbying day Wednesday organized by the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) and the National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA).
